Ryan Lemmon was a lifetime Irvine resident who graduated from Woodbridge High School in June 1993. His accomplishments included being a four year varsity starter in baseball and he was awarded the Scholar Athlete at Woodbridge in 1993. He died in a car accident following his first year of college at Pepperdine. With the Irvine City Council’s approval and the broad support of the community the main field at Windrow Park was renamed Ryan Lemmon Stadium. A life size bronze statue is prominent at the park recognizing him and symbolizing the virtues of youth athletics. Following Ryan’s death, his Father formed the Foundation as a means of creating a way to “give back” to the baseball community. The Ryan Lemmon Foundation was created in 1995* as a non profit organization. The Foundation mission and purpose is to provide organizational and financial support to the high school baseball programs in the Southern California region. The Foundation’s “flagship” event is the South Orange County Showcase for area seniors, now in its eleventh year. The June event is an All-Star baseball two day even...t that includes 48 high schools. The event is televised throughout the summer and is the crowning highlight for many young men’s high school athletic career. The Foundation also hosts the Orange County high school Fall and Winter leagues. Starting with June 2006, the Foundation has added a Sophomore Showcase to its programs.
